Former vice president “Metallurgy” Gennady Velichkin told that the team Andrei Razin They completely defeated Avtomobilist in the sixth match of the Gagarin Cup semi-finals (3:5), but did not take advantage of their opportunities.
On Saturday, Metallurg lost to Avtomobilist (3:5) on the road. The score in the best-of-four series is 3-3. On April 15, the teams will play their seventh match in Magnitogorsk.
– There has been an accident. It happens in sports. “Metallurg” completely dominated “Avtomobilist”, but did not take advantage of its chances and, in response, almost everything was missed. Magnitogorsk missed ridiculous goals. It seemed that after 3:1 it was possible to play calmly, but the fourth goal broke everything. If Avtomobilist hadn’t scored the fourth goal, I’m sure Magnitka would have won.
—Was Razin in a hurry to replace Nabokov?
– No. Smolin helped two or three times. It’s not his fault. After rescuing him, the team took off. Metallurg had a colossal advantage. Especially in the third period. But it happens – an accident.
— Will Metallurg win game seven?
“I hope Magnitogorsk will win at home,” Velichkin told .
